[Boatanchors] Knight TR106 on 70Mc

[Roger Basford]

Hi All,

Just bought a Knight TR106 6-metre AM RX/TX on eBay which has been converted 
to run on the UK "Four" metre band, 70-70.5 Mc. My question is, is anyone 
aware of whether Knight marketed these in the UK?

I'm guessing these rigs are about the same vintage as the Heath HW-17 and 
the Hallicrafters SR-42, as the manual on BAMA is dated 1966? Those rigs 
were sold here (for Two metres, the SR-46 didn't show up) but at that time 
the UK didn't have Six, that band wasn't returned to us until '86. A company 
called Electroniques (part of STC) sold Knight Kits over here, I've a 1967 
catalogue of theirs but the ham gear in it is just SW receivers, the rest is 
HIFI and test gear.

Anyway, any info appreciated that might help me pinpoint who did the mods. 
AM is undergoing a bit of a revival on the VHF ham bands so I guess I'll 
keep the TR106 on "Four" to work the old wartime B44s and ancient PMR gear 
people are dusting off and firing-up!

TIA,

Roger Basford, G3VKM.
